Chances are it is somewhat normal due to the shared pin design of the engine and a slightly weakened battery under load makes it more noticeable. Or it could be a timing issue in the tune. Most big twins have this same sound. I would do a battery test and if that checks out, ride it as long as it runs fine otherwise.

Why does my bike not start when I push the starter button?

Pressing the button sends power to the starter solenoid, which sends a large amount of current from the battery to the starter to turn the motor. If the engine doesn’t crank, it could be because of a failure at any of those stages, a weak battery, or a bad starter.
